Rubbing fender.

[Decimus]

I have same tire specs and same wheel specs. I'm running -2.5 camber all around and I still rub the rear tabs in back. Also, at full lock I also rub the inner fender well. When the car compresses on the freeway because of the dips... Everything rubs. I raised my car to 1 finger gap because I hated the sounds.

Rubbing is the rear tabs. Check your rear tires for shavings/ rubbing.

thanks for the info guys gunna get the car alligned and dial in some neg camber for the front to clear the tires and if that doesnt work ill roll fenders.

Im slammed with 18x9.5 + 38, but with 225/40/18 and i barely clear my front fenders.... idk how you do it with 245s...

Finger space between fender and tire, 235/40/18 18x9.5 +38 and no rub at all on BC coils

Good luck, shouldn't have any rubbing issue after you camber and roll...
I'm this low with no rubbing issue even when I turn or hit dips. Only when I turn on hard corner really fast or U- turns

I'm static by the way

I'm on ST coils, slammed in the front, running 245/35/18, 18x9.5 +45. Rubbed maybe 3 times total over the last 4 months since installed, and only on full lock. -1.3 camber, both front wheels.

ST's have some camber play FYI so you may not need the bolts...I bought Whiteline camber bolts but my alignment guy said I didn't need them. Ended up selling them for a $5 loss...

hm thats weird. i also bought some camber bolt. Whiteline 16mm but my alignment shop said they won't be any big difference using them so I'm planning to return them or resell. i got an alignment done today and I'm at
Front Left : -1.8 Front Right: -1.6
Rear Left: -2.5 Rear Right: -2.8
I still rub front fender going down dips and driveways if I'm not careful but i don't rub on full lock or anything. So I'm planning to get the fender rolled soon and see how that goes.

i replied to you in my meaty tire thread.

first off, your'e rubbing in the front most likely on FENDER LINER because ST's are on the softer side as far as coilovers go. you can raise the car and it should solve this. you need to realize that your suspension NEEDS travel, if you want to be slammed, go with something stiffer so you don't rub, like any of the taiwanese suspensions...but don't expect anything good in terms of riveability or performance.

now i run a much bigger tire than you (265 re-11, square) and I don't rub unless its full lock going forward to the left (so weird). as you see my rears are rolled and slightly pulled, and the front i only rolled by the side marker. if you read the very first post in the meaty tire thread where you posted, it would answer your rolling questions. you also need to trim the rear "tab"

i see, so should i raise my front and rear. I'm planning to roll fenders soon and see if that helps, if not then ill raise it or might even sell the ST and look into Stance coilovers, how are they, do you know?

[Jive Turkey]

they are about the same as Bc, raceland, etc etc. taiwanese dampeners with "32" or somewhat like that levels of adjustment.

you want a better coilover that will not break the bank? RCE tarmac zero with upgraded stiffer Swift springs.

otherwise raise it a bit, roll your fenders and don't worry about rubbing the liner.

[8R6]

you only got -1.6 deg camber up front with the st coilovers?? those have a slotted upper hole where the strut mounts to the hub, and should allow you to get almost -2, if not -2 deg.

but like Jive Turkey said, the ST's are softer than other "stance" coilovers which are pretty much just for looks and dont give a shit about handling and ride quality.

[continuecrushing]

if you're rubbing, you're doing it right

but when I had 245/40/18, I rubbed on the FRONT inside plastic fender liner...not too bad though
